Upcoming Cape Town-based artist Seth Cort releases his debut single today called 'Hold On', and an inspirational Alt Folk Pop song produced by seasoned Rock singer-songwriter Mark Haze. Seth shares that ‘Hold On’ is about “reminiscing over the good times of a broken relationship, whilst trying to hold on as long as possible to fix it. The inspiration came from a tough breakup I went through. I write this at midnight, just after the relationship broke off. I still cannot believe how far it has come, from a song I wrote half-asleep, to a fully recorded single produced by the legend Mark Haze. The song matured over time and changed dramatically during recording and production.”

Mark Haze adds that “Seth approached me early 2022 whilst still in school. He wrote several original songs and was looking for a studio and producer to help craft his own style and sound. This can be tricky when you are a new artist and nobody (including you) really knows what you actually sound like in terms of style and music. Seth was very mature and had great knowledge of his influences, and was very sure of how he wanted his songs to flow. He was very open to many of my ideas and I was the same with his. Each idea from one side fuelled the other with more exciting options. With ‘Hold On’, adding the Gospel-style choir was one of my favourite experiments. I remember Seth’s face when he heard it for the first time - it was one those moments I really live for as a producer. He has a bright future ahead of him and I am honoured to be part of the team that can tell the story of where it all began.”
